The Washington Football team knows that the team will need defensive linemen in 2019. Defensive tackle Greg Gaines graduates, and the PAC-12’s calling card is landing some of the best offensive linemen in NCAA football. The Washington Huskies defense has been dominate in college football in recent years, thanks in no small part to the contributions of versatile defensive linemen like Elijah Qualls and Vita Vea.
Washington needs a solid core of defensive players, and they are rather astute at assessing the player potential of young prospects. The Huskies were the first major football program to offer Paama a football scholarship, and that first-in may have played a significant part to his eventual decision.
